The Supreme Court on Thursday shut down an attempt led by Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert to allow Vice President Mike Pence to throw out the Electoral College’s certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s win.

In an unsigned order, the court denied injunctive relief in Gohmert’s appeal after a Texas judge previously ruled against his case. The decision came a day after Pence led both chambers of Congress in certifying Biden’s win.
